THE HISTORICAL CONQUESTS OF JOSH RITTER
STATUS: Stay on your toes, Bill Clinton. There may be a new crush in town.
FAVE LINKEY-POO RIGHT THIS SECOND: A gorilla playing drums advertising chocolate. Just trust me on this one.
So Josh Ritter is in Ann Arbor. He just played a concert over the noon hour at Borders to promote his new album, The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter. 
Can I just say, how am I supposed to sit at my desk and WORK after seeing this guy play? Seriously? How? He was so completely adorable and — his songs! The lyrics! Good stuff. If you haven’t previewed his album, check out JoshRitter.com, where the entire album plays so you can hear it.
Speaking of lyrics, how is it even remotely possible that Sting received Blender’s nod for worst lyricist? Sorry but I LIKE Sting’s lyrics. Fields of Gold, anyone? Call me cheesy but I don’t care. Paris Hilton makes an album and STING gets worst lyricist? Come ON, Blender. What gives?

I’m so glad someone else shares my Josh crush! For the past several years, I’ve won many people over to his music, but Lara, you’re the first one who is wise enough to add him to your Crush List.
